“I don’t think you’d make that decision in a normal frame of mind”
“And what would you know about a normal frame of mind?”
Really great. One small detail I enjoyed a lot was how during phone calls, the person on the other end of the line did not sound like they were on the phone. It sounded like they were right next to the person on the phone that was in the frame
Was having a tough time deciding between 4.5 and 5* and then it hit me: literally no one reads these or cares at all and I can do whatever I want
Soderbergh just crafts these movies exactly how I love them. Sexy people in killer fits doing cool things. So stylish, really fun dialogue, great score. Just a perfect movie to watch on a Friday night. Perfect spy thriller.
Rosalind Russell is absolute magic and Cary Grant is such a little weasely rat in this
“But when you got something to say to me, you say it in private. And if privacy doesn't permit itself, then you bite your fucking tongue.”
“We’re here to preserve democracy, not practice it”
Probably the most “they don’t make em like this anymore”. Absolutely thrilling movie. Hackman vs Denzel is as good as it gets. Every scene with the two of them just crackles. Fireworks. Such obvious respect between the two of them
Some plot mechanics confused me, specifically the mutiny against the mutiny that is foiled by the final mutiny, but just an absolutely dynamite watch. Also Vossler worst comms guy I ever saw.
